Found on the Flickr account of the San Diego Air & Space Museum is this bit of concept art:

The description: “Flaunt Fleet Air Ultra Naval transport sitting 25 above waves on rsbs retractable spar buoy stabilizer concept and design by Thomas P. Faulconer artist Joe Ferrara date 1985 includes plaque and article by designer on back

This came from an article published in the April 1985 issue of the US Naval Institute Proceedings by Thomas Faulconer, an article I don;t have. So… there ya go.

If you’ve got It, FLAUNT (fleet air ultra 
naval transport) It. Thomas P.Faulconer. tab
